Thanks Chuck. I'll give it a try. I'm not sure if it will work and I will have to replace the hd. when I tried to do a restore with the disks, It would not read the disks. I have boot order set to #1. I'll try what you sent. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again. Earl.

I found one on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004V10HPW

It's an Acer Aspire. she said when she turned it on there was a posted banner saying that it was the FBI locking her computer that if she wanted the code to unlock it, to wire money.

Hi Chuck. How have you been? It's been a long time. This system I believe is running 32. I see by the restore disks this system is running windows 7 home and not 8 like the customer said. when started the screen has 2 options. setup and boot. through the setup utility I can change the boot order but what ever I choose it will not allow to read. examp. boot through cd rom or use or even external cd rom.. f8 is no option will not boot into safe mode. Thanks for your help. Earl.

Just got in a laptop with the Ransom virus or also known as FBI moneypac virus. anyways this is on an Acer laptop win/8 It will not load into safemode. It will load into the setup and allow me to switch the boot order but will not read the restore disk. I tried many things but this one has me stumped. anyone have ideas that could help? Please. Thanks.

GENERAL PERFORMANCE/LOCKUPS -------------------------------------------- In some cases,programs that are running on your system can monopolize resorces that the game needs to install,load and run properly.Not all of these programs are visable there are a lot of these programs, called "background tasks" that are always running on your system.if your system is running anti virus or crash guard programs you will need to close or disable them to view and close background tasks (windows XP) hold down the CTrl and Alt and tap the delete key. the windows task maniger appears click the applications ta

Thanks il I like that tip,It saved me time that I hate waiting for. Earl.
